Ingredients Serving: 3

1 cup grated or riced cauliflower
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp chickpea flour( besan)
1 heaping tbsp hung yogurt
salt as per taste
1/4 tsp cayenne or paprika to add spice (adjust as per your taste)
1 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp amchur powder(dry mango powder)
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp Fennel seeds
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
oil for deep fry

Instructions

Roughly grind the coriander seeds and the fennel seeds in mortar and pestle by hand.
Combine grated or riced cauliflower, mozarella cheese, yogurt, chickpea flour, ground coriander seeds, ground fennel seeds, garam masala powder, amchur powder, cayenne, turmeric powder and salt in a medium size bowl.
Heat sufficient oil in deep heavy bottomed pan to fry the fritters. Make medium size balls from the cauliflower cheese mixture. Pat the balls lightly to form the shape of patties.
The temperature of the oil is neither too high nor too low. Too high will cook the outer covering fast and the inner filling will be raw. Too low heat will make the fritters soggy. The temperature of the oil should be such that a drop of dough mixture dropped in the oil rises up at once. Deep fry the mozarella gobi patties till it turns crispy and golden brown. Take it out on a plate and drain the excess oil by resting the fritters on kitchen paper towel or any absorbent material for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the mozarella cauliflower fritters hot with green chutney or spicy yogurt dip.
